Graphing
They say “A picture is worth a thousand words” so it makes sense that a graph is often the quickest and easiest way to see and analyze the results from your logger. A large amount of data can be visually displayed on one screen and extreme highs/lows can be easily identified.
Zooming and Panning
Since so much data can be displayed in one graph, zooming in and panning around your date is a critical feature to let you see the “big picture” as well as the smaller details.
Combine Multiple Logs
Overlaying multiple sets of results makes it possible to compare different locations easily. It also makes it possible to extend a graph over several runs.
Copy to Clipboard
Graphs can be copied as an image to the clipboard allowing you to paste it into any other applications to share, edit or add to documents. So if you are building up a report and need graphs to make a point, just copy and paste your data straight in.
Colour Code
It’s easy to add colour to your graphs to help you identify patterns within the data. For example, you could change the colour of points to show which are within your limits and which fall outside of them.
Annotations
eTemperature can place a marker on the graph with text so you can mark up the chart with explanations. These annotations can also be printed onto reports.

Results and Data
Display as Table
The table shows every result including the date, time and temperature. The “raw” data allows you to know exactly what happened and when it happened.
Exporting
The table can be exported to several other applications (Excel, CSV, Word, and Clipboard) to allow you to do further analysis or reporting.
Data Cleanup
Often the results may contain unwanted data at the start or end of the run. eTemperature will allow this data to be deleted for reporting purposes.
The information is NOT deleted from the saved results, just the displayed and reported results. It will NOT delete records midway through results so users can’t doctor results.
Save to File
Information such as minimum and maximum temperatures, start and end dates, and average temperature are automatically calculated.
Data analysis
For the more scientific, calculations such as ice days and mean kinetic temperature are also calculated. Ice days is a value that is growing in popularity as an indicator of how “fresh” items are. It is a reliable indicator of the rate of perishing/aging of items that should be kept refrigerated.
Graph Annotations
The analysis can be run over the entire range or user-selectable intervals. It is quick and easy to analyze over a day, week, hour or “run”.

Reporting
eTemperature has two standard reports with options that provide either full detail or levels of summarising. These reports can easily be modified using a built-in template editor.
Graphs
By exporting the graph on the report, readers can get the instant “big picture”.
Daily Min/Max
Many existing clients (e.g. pharmacies) are used to collecting the daily minimum/maximum readings. This report summarises the day’s readings down to the minimum and maximum.
Daily Min/Max with Alarm Points
This report is the daily min/max report but with the added feature of displaying every reading that is outside the high or low limits. This overcomes the shortcomings of the min/max thermometer where you only know that there is a problem but you don’t know when or for how long. This report will give you all of that information, and usually still on a single-page printout.
All Readings
This level of detail will display every reading.
Save As
Reports can be saved as pdf, html or images making them easy to distribute to other people.
Email Results
Where Windows security allows it, results can be automatically emailed using Microsoft Outlook or any generic email program.

Configuration
Flexibility
Temperature loggers can have customised descriptions, sampling rates, starting options and alarm limits.
Unit Description
The standard option is to store a single “description” in the Thermochron. This description is kept with the logger, displayed when retrieved, stored in the save file, and also used as the basis of the saved file name. It is ideal for containing the location of the logger, the shipping reference, the customer name, or any other useful information.
Customised Data in Logger
Extending the basic description that is stored with the loggers is the option to have a set of data. The format and contents are completely user-configurable. This acts as a “portable database” with reference data kept with the logger.
Display when data is full
A key feature of all temperature loggers is to either stop logging when the memory is full or to overwrite the oldest data. In either mode, it is critical to know how long it will be before this occurs. If you retrieve the results before this you guarantee to get all the readings. If you don’t, then you will lose some data. To make this easier, as you change the sample rate, eTemperature will display when that critical moment will occur. This assists in knowing if you need to slow the sampling rate down, or if you can make it faster.
Allow Rollover
This will determine if the logger will stop when the memory is full, or keep logging. If you are shipping goods and have no control over how long it will take for the logger to be returned then turn rollover off. In this case, the unit will stop logging once the memory is full and retain the initial journey. Alternatively, if you leave the logger permanently in place and always want the most recent data then turn rollover on.
Fixed Date/Time or Relative Time
When using the optional start delay, it is possible to set it in either terms of a fixed date and time (e.g. start on the 11th June at 9 pm) or a relative time (e.g. start in 3 days, 4 hours). This makes it very easy to synchronise loggers, start at a given time, or provide yourself with time to get the loggers into the field.
High/Low Alarms
The high and low alarms will determine the default alarms when displaying the results. This is useful for where the start retrieving the results aren’t aware of the expected temperatures.
Popular Settings
Since most users have standard requirements, a series of” popular settings” buttons have already been configured with the most common high and low-temperature alarms. These include settings for vaccine fridges, fridges and freezers. This allows users to program loggers with a couple of pushes of a button.
